This uotice created no comment what
ever. 1t had no effect either of any kind
on the market. Wheat was trifle more
buOyant than expected. The starting
point for July was 7215c. In the first
few minutes trading, it eaSed down to
724c, but after the first furry was over
it again became steady around 7215c.
July is now 72$4c and June 7115c.

Aladdin'S wonderful palace has been
outdone right here in Chicago. The late
corner in wheat is responsible for the
miracle, and its hero is an elevator

detail, an elevator of 100000 capacity,
where the 1st day of June there was

The Bodyke Evictions.

LONDON, June 1S.-The agent of the
O'Callaghan estates, at BOdyke, which
have been the scene of the recent evic-
tons, writes to the Times stating that
almost all of the tenants held under
leases at the judicial rates made by the
land courts. 'Shey paid their rents reg
ularly until the National league melted
them to demand 80 per cent. reduc-
ton. Even then many of the tenants
paid their full rents secretly, and had
their receipts back-dated prior to the
leagues mandate, and some went so far
as to implore that ejectmentS be served
on them, although they had paid all, in
order to avoid the leagues Vengeance.
The whole resistance, the agent says,
was due to the action of the tenants. In
the final negotiations nineteen tenants
offered to accept proposal to pay G31S
in lieu of the 1902 due, but Father Han
nan declined the offer on behalf of the
tenants. In conclusion the agent says:
Il have not the least doubt could have
effected peaceful settlement but for
the mischievouS Interference of out
slders." In the special court at Ennis
to-day girl who was charged with
throwing vitriOl on a bailiff while re-
SlSting eviction at BOdyke was commit
ted for trial.
Several of the tenants arrested at
BOdyke for resisting the officers sent to
eyict them have been sentenced to
prison at hard labor for terms ranging
from one to three months. After being
sentenced they were taken to Ennis sta
ton under heavy escort of police.
Crowds of sympathizing people gathered
and cheered the prisoners and became
so demonStrative that the police were
ordered to charge and dispense them.
This they did with a will and piled
their batons SO vigorously that several
of the people were severely injured.

with difficulty, little after Z o'clock
last night near the farm house of Aug
Palm, a German, in the town of Hoff-
man, Benton county, H., distant from
st. Louis almost due east fifty-five
miles. We had out our drag rope for
about five miles, and pincher three
miles. We tore along fifteen miles an
hour, biting out fences and tearing up
good patches of ground. A dozen farm
erS chased us the last mile Finally
one of them, Mr.. Palm, aided by
his wife. gave the drag
rope half a dozen turns around
an apple tree and brought
us up short with terrific violence, nearly
throwing us from the car. 1t required
five hours to descend the last 500 feet.
The highest point reached was 10000
feet, and this is said to be the highest
point reached by aerOnautS. Mr.. Moore

eter fell to $50 when we were above the
Clouds Suddenly we began to fall at
terrific speed and we felt great roar
ing sound in our ears. In space of
time that seemed less than two minutes
we fell from 10000 feet to a height of
less than 400 feet above the earth and
the drag rope and anchor touched the
ground. The balloon has been shipped
to st. Louis and another trial will be
made with more gas.

He Takes an Airing Occasionally

Chair.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK. June 16.-Carl Schurz, in
a wheeled chair, is one of the sights of
Central park. He is still suffering
good deal of inconvenience, to say the
least, from his broken thigh. For six
weeks after the fall on the pavement
that resulted in fracturing the limb he
was confined to his bed. That was
more than three months ago. He lives
at the top of one of the great Navarro
fiat buildings, at Fifty-ninth street and
Central park, but as he is on the south
side he gets TO view of the park from
his windows. The elevator brings the
visitor directly to his door, which
opens from the main hall into ..an
irregularly shaped room, originally de-
signed for reception room but trans
formed into library. The walls are
almost concealed with high bookcases,
all well filled, and engravings, bits of
armor and curios take up the remaining
space. The room is not used as study,
however, but simply as place for the
keeping of books. When your cor
respondent called upon him to-day, he
was ushered into much larger room
off the library hall, at the further side
of which Mr.. Schurz sat under win
dow. His crutches leaned against the
wall at his side. He held on his knees
writing tablet, upon which he was at
work.

A NEGRO UPRISING.

Carolina.


Special to the Globe.
COLUMBIA, S. c., June 1S.-Rumors
of an expected outbreak of negroes i'm
LaurenS county, in the northern part of
the state, reached here early this morn
ing. Later in the day some excitement
in military circles was caused by the
fact of Gov. Richardson and the
adjutant general having been ap-
pealed to for arms and protection
by the whites of LaurenS county.
Gov. Richardson received a communica-
ton signed by a number of citizens
there. The negroes under the Hoover
Influence, the petition stated, had
formed q number of clubs. Meetings
had been held at night in churches
from IL to 2 o'clock, and the buildings
were surrounded by armed picketS.
Very incendiary speeches were made.
1t was proposed that at a certain time a
general uprising should take place in
the night; that the white men and
women should be killed, and the white
girls be taken as wives and the white
children be made to work. 1t was pro-
posed to burn the whites out, and then
massacre them. The negroes were all

of the clubs were bound by oath to Sc

to LaurenS to investigate and report
fully at once. The governor is prepared
to put one OF two regiments of militia in
the country at very short notice, and
says that if necessary all the troops Of

The Sharp Trial,

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The Sharp trial
was commenced an hour earlier this
morning on account of the Saturday
half-holiday. All the parties connected
with the case were promptly on hand.
Henry AlvOrd Robinson, managing clerk
of the law firm of Robinson, Scribner IL
Bright in 1884, was called. He knew
Sharp, Forshay and Kerr. He was one
of the incOrpOratOrS of the Broadway
Surface road and had signed the arti-
cles on his own motion, asking Mr..
Forshay if he might. All the incorpor-
atorS signed the same day, and witness
never paid for his stock, never received
certificate of stock, nor did anything
afterward as stakeholder of the COM
pany. George w. Lynch, under indict-
ment for embracery of a juror in this
case, the secretary and superintendent
of the Christopher and Tenth street
railroad company, of which Sharp is
president, was next put on the stand.
Clarence w. Francis and William Bird

A DefauIter Caught.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 1S.-Henry
V. Lesley, the defaulting secretary of
the Chesapeake & Delaware Coal COM
pany, who, with J.. A. Wilson, the
former treasurer of the same company,
fled from the city in the early part of
July of last year with large sum of
money belonging to the company, was
taken into custody at noon to-day and
locked up in the central police station
for hearing. He had lately returned
here and was in hiding. The announce
ment of the defalcation in the accounts
of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal
company was made on June so, 1886, and
it was soon made known that the cul-
prits were j. A. Wilson, the treasurer,
and Henry V. Lesley, his predecessor in
that office. The loss was S650,200, of
which s615,200 represented an over issue
of the cOmpany'S bonds, $1,000 in Lehigh
Valley railroad bonds, and $4,000 in
cash, distracted by manipulation of
the books. The canal company's bonds
matured on July L Of that year, and az
rangements had been for thirty-year
extension, and the holders were asked
to come forward and exchange them.
In this manner the over-issue was dis
covered, but Wilson. in anticipation,
had them Oh hand and fled.

the robbers turned their attention
to the passengers, none of whom
were overlooked or sighted. Even the
newsboy was despoiled of his nickelS.
One old gent, sleeping in his berth, was
awakened, and, reaching under his pill
low for his valuableS, was struck sense
less by pistol in the hands of a robber.
The rObber then secured from under
the pillow well-filled purse, The
sheriff says that while the robbers were

i'll the sleeper. But it was useless, as
when the robbers entered the sleeper
they compelled the brakeman to go
ahead with his lantern and stop at every
berth. Col. Quinlas, of the Mexican
army, was among the passengers, ac-
he learned that the train was being
robbed he called to his lieutenant to
bring him his pistols quick and
he would kill all the robbers.
Mrs. White, the sheriff's wife, who un-
derStandS Spanish, Immediately cried
out to the doughty colonel, telling him
if he valued his life to remain quiet and
give up his money, as the robbers had
every advantage. A few moments aft
erwardS the robbers came along with Il
poor brakeman before them carrying
lantern. One of the gang pulled
the curtain back, exposing the
Mexican officer to the gaze
of Capt. Dick, the leader of the gang,
who was complacently sucking huge
stick of candy in his left hand while
the other hand covered the Mexican
with a big Six-shooter. When the band
it captured Sam, the Mexican, he told
him to disgorge, remarking by way of
emphasis, that he would as soon kill a
greaser as eat his breakfast.
The officer reluctantly hadded over S400.
Several drummerS for New York and
Galveston houses were in the sleeper,
and were all robbed, nearly every one
receiving a brutal knock OH the head
with a revolver. The robbers were very
rough and ugly in their treatment, even
striking a lady passenger who
was slow in finding her pOcket-book
1t is estimated tonight that the robbers
obtained not less than $4,000 in money
besides much valuable jeweiry. Up to
a late hour no news has been received
regarding the hunt after the robbers.
There is scarcely any doubt but that
they are safely in Mexico by this time.
